VfB Stuttgart will play at home against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

In October 2018, VfB had a very tough away game against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The hosts leaved no room to play for VfB, and won 4:0. Now the time for revenge has come. Players from Stuttgart are in the middle of difficult campaing to rescue the place in German Bundesliga. VfB holds currently 16th place and loses 3 points to FC Augsburg which now holds the 15th place – the last free from trouble. In the last 5 games, VfB Stuttgart gave many signs of improvements in its game. The idea of coach Markus Weinzierl to make the team play calculated, precise football seems to work. Of course, VfB still have to work to improve its game but there’s a lot of optimism inside the team.

Before the Saturday’s game, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim has 37 points and is on the 8th place in the league’s table. In the last 5 games, TSG won two of them, tied also 2 and lost once. The team lead by coach Julian Nagelsmann has one of the league current stars. It’s Andrej Kramarić, who has scored 12 goals so far and is now in top 10 of Bundesliga’s top scorers. He’s backed up by young striker from Brazil, Joelinton. And the other bright points of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim are defender Kevin Vogt (team’s captain), right defender from the Czech Republic Pavel Kaderabek, midfielder Kerem Demirbay, left midfielder Nico Schulz and playmaker Nadiem Amiri. As you can see, coach Nagelsmann has many highly-skilled players on duty and this team can be dangerous for every team in the league.

“You can tell that the players are running and fighting for each other and supporting one another. Before the game against TSG 1899, we’re in a good position of having 21 healthy, fit and highly motivated outfield players to choose from” – says the coach of VfB Stuttgart Markus Weinzierl, quoted by the club’s official website.
